Stage 2 Photos

Here are some images from our final day of building and testing.


All the materials in our window are reused - plastic packaging for glazing, aluminium railing for the frame and tip shop sources chipboard for the reveal:


We also used the plastic packaging for flashing:

Fitting the window and wrapping the sarking over the flashing:


We reused old pallets from the Enviro Shop for most of the timber in our wall. Here we are finishing off the cladding:


The timber for the roof truss was found at the Outlook Shop at Reservoir tip:


The wall is insulated between the studs. We used an old pillow:


Glenn found an old section of steel angle to use as a lintel over our window for the bricks:


Here's our finished wall! The roofing is from the tip shop, and we had a great time using the angle grinder to cut the sheet in half.
